Total body fluid weight makes up ___% of total body weight? - ANSWER 60
2/3s of the body's volume is ___________ (intra/extracellular) - ANSWER Intracellular
What is extracellular fluid comprised of - ANSWER Interstitial
Intravascular
3rd space
Daily water input? - ANSWER Food-800
Ingested- 500
Oxidation - 300
TOTAL-1600 mL
Daily water output? - ANSWER Skin-500
Urine-500
Resp-400
Stool-200
TOTAL- 1600mL
(35mL/kg/day or 2.4L)
What instances do we need more water - ANSWER Burners?
GI loss (V/D)
Sweating
Drains
Tachypnea
Polyuria
Fever
What is the solute concentration in the body fluid by weight? - ANSWER Osmolality
NL- 275-295
3 types of IVF? - ANSWER Colloids
Crystalloids
Blood products
These are fluids that have large molecules and do not pass cell membrane. Remain *intravascular* and draw *in* fluids from *high* oncotic pressure - ANSWER Colloids
Fluids that contain small molecules that increase fluid in *interstitial* and *extravascular* spaces - ANSWER Crystalloids
Three types of crystalloids - ANSWER Isotonic (MC)
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
This is when the concentration of solutes is equal to that of plasma. Will this increase intra or extravascular volume? - ANSWER Isotonic crystalloids
Increases intravascular volume (stays extracellularly)
What is normal saline used to treat? - ANSWER Any hypovolemia
Shock
Mild hyponatremia
Metabolic acidosis (DKA)
What is the only fluid to be used with blood products? - ANSWER NS
This is considered a balanced fluid, and the electrolyte content is most like that of blood serum and plasma - ANSWER LR
Why does NS need to be used carefully in HF and RF? - ANSWER Replaces extracellular fluid and may cause overload
What is contained in NS? - ANSWER Water
Na (154)
Cl (154)
Similar to Na and Cl in intravascular space
What is contained in LRs? - ANSWER Na (130)
HCO3 (28)
Cl (109)
K (4)
Ca (3)
What are LRs used to treat - ANSWER GI loss
Burns/trauma fluid loss
Fistula drainage
Acute blood loss or hypovolemia due to 3rd pacing
Why are trauma fluid losses better treated the LR than NS? - ANSWER Electrolyte presence
What does LR convert in the liver? What does this means in regards to acidosis - ANSWER Converts lactate to bicarb in liver
Good for metabolic acidosis, *NOT* lactic acidosis
What patients should you avoid LR with? - ANSWER NOT for liver pts (cant metabolize lactate)
Caution in severe renal pt (K)
Avoid in pts with pH >7.5 (bicarb)
Is D5W hyper/hypo/isotonic? - ANSWER Considered isotonic, but when metabolized, is *hypo*tonic and causes fluid to shift into cells
When is D5W indicated - ANSWER Hypernatremia
Provides 170 calories/L but no electrolytes
Cautionswith D5W? - ANSWER 1. ICP (cerebral edema)
2. HF/RF (overload)
3. Dilutes electrolytes (not monotherapy for hypovolemia)
4. Resuscitation (doesnt remain intravascaular)
5. Not immediate post op (increased ADH)
What should be monitored with isotonic fluids - ANSWER -volume overload: look at vitals, volume status (JVD/edema), breath sounds (crackles), heart sounds
All before, during and after
-also I/Os-Are they peeing?
These solutions often lower the serum osmolality within the vascular space, causing fluid to shift from intravascular space to both intracellular and intersitital spaces - ANSWER Hypotonic
Hypotonic solutions hydrate the cells, but may also deplete fluid where - ANSWER Circulatory system
Examples of hypotonic solution - ANSWER 1/2 NS
0.33% NS
0.22% NS
2.5% Dextrose in water
When are hypotonic solutions used - ANSWER Intracellular dehydration
-hypernatremia
-DKA
-HHS
